A Dog Steals &
Drinks Beer? Who says dogs don’t love cool
beverages? Dogs, in fact, look forward to drinks
like colas, squashes, buttermilk, flavoured milk
and even beer! Finally, some good news for the
beeraholic dogs and their masters (who love to
pamper their canines).

A report from Melbourne
states that Dog Beer, or DB, has been designed by
Sydney pet supplies store owner Elise Schumacher
after she observed her own dogs, named Louis and
Vuiton, jumping for drops of beer. And thus,
Schumacher invented Dog Beer, which is just like
real beer sans alcohol. After DB, just like VB,
and the slogan is, “Shout your best friend a
beer. Dogs really love human beer but it’s
bad for them, www.news.com.au has quoted her.
Schumacher said that the hops in beer could cause
dogs to have seizures while the carbon can lead
some to die.

In a bid to keep her
family pets happy, Schumacher, owner of Paws Point
store in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, decided
to create a canine-friendly beer. After
researching how to brew her own beer, the mother
of two then had to taste test the beef flavours.
It tastes like beef and smells like beer, she
said.

The special beer is
packaged in brown bottles identical to those of
normal beers and is sold in local cafes and for
barbecues. It also costs as much as regular beer,
with customers paying Aus $5 a bottle. People pick
up a few bottles for their dogs, she informs. Do
we now look forward to Bars for dogs.
